Fighting Famine Starvation

Fighting famine starvation By Stanley Russell Harris The new mad author & A Poetry Soup honourably mentioned poet As a poet should I write? Words in this world! That is not right. Words on paper for you to read! Do they bear weight? Will these words intercede? Famine now rears its ugly head. Men, women, children cannot be fed. As nothing is grown to make living bread Fighting as I write you know. Causes families to start to flow. Away from danger, they do you know. Killing, raping, has mankind gone insane? For everywhere, it seems the same. Will life ever be normal again? Fighting must cease, irrigate the land. Feed all from the seed, sown by man’s hand. Live together in peace do. Help each other, you must, it’s true. As only then you will survive. With food and water. You’ll surely thrive. I know no one fleeing strife will read this . But with such bad news just sending money seems so inadequate. Hope someone can channel the abundant free water from places that have too much to those that have none. as without water, well less said about that. Oh by the way I am cancer free, how about that? A little good news amidst the world's doom and gloom. Stanley (TnmA)
